Kaal Bhairav, who is considered to be the rage avatar of Lord Shiva, is called ‘Kotwal of Kashi’. It is said that Lord Shiva had given the burden of protecting Kashi to Kaal Bhairav. According to Skanda Purana, Kaal Bhairav came to Kashi to get rid of a sin. He came here so much peace that his anger became calm. There was so much peace in Kashi that Kaal settled in Bhairav Kashi. Come, let’s know the secrets of Kaal Bhairav.
Brahmji’s head was bitten
According to the legend of Skanda Purana, once the best is in Tridev, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, there was a dispute about who is the best. When all sages and sages were asked, they described Shiva as superior. Hearing this, Brahma ji was very angry and insulted Shiva. Due to this, Kaal Bhairav ji appeared from Shiva’s wrath and he cut off the head of Brahma.
To get rid of Brahma murder
After the blame of killing Brahma on Kaal Bhairav, he roamed in the three worlds, but he did not get liberation. While wandering, Kaal Bhairav ji did not get liberation, then Shiva ordered him to go to Kashi. Shiva ji said, “You go to Kashi, you will get liberation there.” On the orders of Shiva ji, Kaal Bhairav ji reached Kashi and took a bath in the Ganges there. After this, he settled in Kashi and became the city protector of Shiva, whom today we worship in the name of Kaal Bhairav.
Kaal Bhairav resides in Kashi Vishwanath temple
Bhairav ji is considered to be the form of Shiva. They also bless people and also punish the people if needed. It is said that before seeing Kashi Vishwanath, one must visit Kaal Bhairav. Only then Kashi Yatra is considered complete. Baba Vishwanath is the king of Kashi and Kaal Bhairav is his Kotwal, mythological belief that Kaal Bhairav listens to people’s applications by putting his court in Kashi Vishwanath temple and does justice to people.

Worshiping Kaal Bhairav provides freedom from Saturn’s half -and -half, Dhaiya and Shani punishments. To avoid Shani outbreak, Kal Bhairav should be worshiped on Saturday. It is believed that Yamraj does not have the right to punish this place, because this right is only with Shiva and Kaal Bhairav. Yamraj himself cannot kill anyone’s life here without orders and the right to punish Shiva and Kaal Bhairav.
